The age of agentic development is here
The Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC) is Sonar's methodology for ensuring AI agents are operating in a trustworthy, consistent, and transparent way.
Sonar + Gitar
Code verification tuned
for the agentic era
Sonar acquires Gitar, bringing AI code review to the verification platform purpose-built for how agents code.
Trusted by over 7M developers and 75% of the Fortune 100
SonarQube users have 44% lower AI outage risk and up to 8% lower token usage*
SonarQube is the most comprehensive and accurate code verification platform. Independent. Verifiable. Trusted.
Independent
Sonar provides a neutral, rigorous verification platform that holds all code to the same standards for quality and security, regardless of which human or agent created it.
Verifiable
Sonar’s zero trust, multilayered review process produces definitive, transparent, and auditable verification with an extremely low (3.2%) false positive rate.
Trusted
Sonar is the global leader in code verification and automated code review. Over 7 million developers and 22,000+ customers trust Sonar to verify the quality and security of their code.
Works natively with the agents you already use

"We're not just keeping quality high; we're actually able to go faster because we’ve cleared a lot of that tech debt that’s been there for years. AI makes it easier to deliver velocity, but only if you provide the right context from tools like SonarQube.”
Stephen Byrnes, Distinguished Engineer
Why Sonar
Adopt AI coding with confidence
An independent trust layer for AI code, with zero trust, multilayered verification.
Prevent risk before it compounds
Catch issues at every stage, from guiding agents with context to auto-remediating before production.
Standardize code verification
A single source of truth for code verification that applies the same standard across AI and developer code.
Stay audit-ready and compliant
Centralized visibility and a clear paper trail of all issues found make it easy to prove compliance during audits.
*AI outage risk based on the 2026 Sonar State of Code Developer Survey. Token usage reduction based on Sonar research on agentic coding workflows; results vary by codebase.
